If you think they are not as effective as man-made antibiotics, then you have no personal experience with them. I do. Perhaps you’ve read about the items I listed, but for you to say that, that means that you’ve never used them and experienced it personally. I’ve used them on myself, my daughters, and my grandson successfully for infections, Strep Throat, among other things.
People STILL die from diseases that they are vaccinated against. Life is not without risk, as you very well know. Nothing is 100%.
On the other hand, my dad had both a blood staph AND strep infection. He was on IV antibiotics for a month and pulled through. No doubt he would have passed on if it were not for the antibiotics. My dad is alive because of antibiotics. To deny him would have been a death sentence.
Also, my great grandfather died from an infection that, if it were available, was easily treatable with antibiotics. He cut his toe.
Speaking of herbal treatments, if found that neem tea has been effective at helping me with my digestive issues. Are you familiar with it?
